The highlight of my day: took my dad to the dr's office, and the nurse asked, "Are you comfortable?" My dad laughed loudly; the nurse thought this was some sort of ironic take on the horrors of aging, but he was really laughing b/c he knew exactly what I was thinking (which is, "I make a living." Old joke: man gets hit by a car. The ambulance comes and says, "Mister, are you comfortable?" and he smiles modestly and says the punchline). The spousal unit has heard me say that during labor and after surgery. Apparently its charms have worn off on him.
